In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance
guidelines below:
F t
o o
btain an even air distribution, take care not to obstruct the exterior air intake grilles
located at the base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents and the air outlets, as well
as the air extractor located in the boot.
F

D
o not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used for regulation
of the air conditioning system.
F

O
perate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month
to keep it in per fect working order.
F
e
n
sure that the passenger compartment filter is in good condition and have the filter
elements replaced regularly.
W

e recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment filter. t
h
anks to its
special active additive, it contributes to the purification of the air breathed by the
occupants and the cleanliness of the passenger compartment (reduction of allergic
symptoms, bad odours and greasy deposits).
F
t
o e
nsure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also advised to have
it checked regularly as recommended in the warranty and maintenance record.

I
f the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact a P

dealer or
a qualified workshop.
Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
If after an extended stop in sunshine,
the interior temperature is very high, first
ventilate the passenger compartment for
a few moments.
Put the air flow control at a setting high
enough to quickly change the air in the
passenger compartment.
th

e air conditioning system does not
contain chlorine and does not present
any danger to the ozone layer.
th

e condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a discharge
of water under the vehicle which is
perfectly normal.
When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high temperatures, switching off the
air conditioning increases the available engine power and so improves the towing ability.
Stop & Start
the heating and air conditioning
systems only work when the engine
is running. t
o m
aintain a comfortable
temperature in the passenger
compartment, you can temporarily
deactivate the Stop & Start system (see
the corresponding section).

Dual-zone digital air conditioning (touch screen)
this air conditioning system operates with the engine running, but the ventilation and its controls
are available with the ignition on.

comfort and not to a temperature in degrees
Centigrade or Fahrenheit (depending on the
units chosen).
A setting around 21 provides an optimum level

Active cruise control
this systems allows the vehicle's speed to be
maintained at a value set by the driver.
In addition it allows (when circumstances
permit) an inter-vehicle time that you have
selected to be maintained between your vehicle
and the one in front.Principles of operation
using a radar with a range of about 100 metres,
located at the front of the vehicle, this system
detects a vehicle running in front of your
vehicle.
It automatically adapts the speed of your
vehicle to that of the vehicle in front.
If the vehicle in front is running more slowly,
the system progressively reduces the speed of
your vehicle using just engine braking (as if the
driver had pressed the "-" b ut to n).
If your vehicle is too close to, or approaching
too quickly the vehicle in front, the cruise
control is automatically deactivated.
t
h
e
driver is then alerted by an audible signal,
accompanied by a message.
If the vehicle in front accelerates or changes
lane, the active cruise control progressively
accelerates your vehicle to return to the
programmed speed.
If the driver operates a direction indicator to
overtake a slower vehicle, the active cruise
control allows your vehicle to temporarily
approach the vehicle in front to assist the
overtaking manoeuvre, though never exceeding
the programmed speed.
Switching between the
types of cruise control
the choice between the "active" and "standard"
cruise control is made in the " Driving
assistance " menu.
th

e cruise control selection thumb wheel must
be in the "CR
uI

S
e" p
osition, other wise the
choice will not be taken into account.
Refer to the corresponding section
for information on the operation of the
standard cruise control.
th

e state of the system is memorised on
switching off the ignition. F

P

change from active
cruise control to
standard cruise
control and vice-
versa.

Blind spot sensors
Operation
A warning lamp appears in the door mirror on
the side in question:
-
i
mmediately, when being overtaken,
-

a
fter a delay of about one second, when
overtaking a vehicle slowly.th
is driving assistance system warns the driver
of the presence of another vehicle in the blind
spot angle of their vehicle (areas masked from
the driver's field of vision), as soon as this
presents a potential danger.
th
is indicator lamp comes on in the instrument
panel.
Sensors fitted in the front and rear bumpers
monitor the blind spots.
th

is system is designed to improve safety when driving and is in no circumstances a
substitute for the use of the interior rear view mirror and door mirrors. It is the driver's
responsibility to constantly check the traffic, to asses the distances and relative speeds of
other vehicles and to predict their movements before deciding whether to change lane.
th

e blind spot sensor system does not replace the need for vigilance on the part of the
driver. Activation of the system is done in
the "
Driving assistance " menu of
the touch screen.
F
Press this button (depending on
version) to activate the function; the
associated indicator lamp comes on.

Park Assist system is automatically
deactivated once the rear of the vehicle
is within 50 cm of an obstacle.
